In photos: The 1898 Spanish-American War from the Florida Shore
August 12, 2018 /Photography News/ In 1898 U.S. attention focused on Florida as the Spanish-American War began on April 25. The port city of Tampa served as the primary staging area for U.S. troops bound for the war in Cuba. The arrival of over 30,000 troops, including Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders cavalry unit, changed Tampa from a small town to a city.
Florida, the closest state to the Caribbean and home to a large Cuban immigrant population, became the setting for much of the action in Cuba's fight for independence from Spain.
Although the main issue was Cuban independence, the ten-week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific.
August 12, 1898 marks the end of the Spanish-American War, with the Americans defeating the Spaniards.
The images included in this set have been selected from the Photographic Collection of the State Library and Archives of Florida.
The Florida Photographic Collection contains more than 157,000 images, representing the most complete portrait of Florida available.

Jadi gini kesimpulannya bro, untuk kopi nikmat dirumah ente cukup panaskan air hingga mendidih lalu diamkan sebentar hingga mencapai suhu ideal antara 88 hingga 95 derajad (jangan pas air habis mendidih ya). Selanjutnya ente tuang 10 gram (1 sendok teh) kedalam cangkir berukuran 150 ml, seduh kopi itam selama kurang lebih 2 - 4 menit (jangan kelamaan) dan kopi nikmat siap di seruput...
Nah, udah pada tau kan ente bro and sis, jadi pas bikin kopi jangan pake air yang abis mendidih, apalagi langsung campur ama gula, bisa gak mateng sempurna kopinya.

Ngomongin hal tentang cara berbicara di depan umum, bagi saya itu merupakan suatu keterampilan yang memerlukan persiapan, teknik berbicara dan latihan. Selain latihan cara berbicara di depan umum, membiasakan diri untuk berperan aktif dan proaktif juga menjadi salah satu pintu masuk menjadi seorang pembicara.
Contoh kecil berbicara dalam sebuah rapat dikantor, tentu menjadi hal umum terutama dalam menyampaikan pertanyaan, gagasan serta ide. Namun banyak juga karyawan yang memiliki pemikiran bagus, namun tak mampu menyampaikannya, akhirnya gagasan berakhir sia-sia.

Photographi must be supported by your computer or laptop that qualified first in terms of editing the images. To help maximize the editing must use appropriate computer spec, and most important is the procedure cara mematikan komputer dengan keyboard to be precise.
Other supporting devices in a photo editing is a mouse. For that mouse was created to facilitate the operation of the first computer in the design and editing. Without a mouse, would have difficulties in operating a computer. that's one fungsi mouse pada komputer
